The two percent solution?

According to the latest poll W's approval rating among African Americans is 2%. That's right, 2 (two) percent! The poll has a margin of error of 3.4% so it may actually be a little higher than that. On the other hand, it might also be even lower. Assuming pollsters don't randomly call Condi it's possible that NO member of that community can stand the guy. Can't say it's not deserved.

Of course this is likely only a statistical blip and future polls will put him in the more believable 10-12% range. But in the mean time this figure is amusing enough that we might get a news cycle or two out of it much to the consternation of the spinners in the White House. Personally I enjoy the thought of more soul crushing bad news keeping those guys up at night. Or at least past 10 in pillow boy's case. And why his rating among all Americans isn't under 15% I'll never understand.
